UNLZ

What UNLZ does

UNLZ – Facultad de Ciencias Económicas is a constituent faculty of Argentina's public Universidad Nacional de Lomas de Zamora, headquartered on Camino de Cintura y Juan XXIII in Lomas de Zamora, Buenos Aires Province, with two extension sites (Centro de Posgrado "Dr. Manuel Belgrano" on Calle Acevedo and Escuela de Dirección y Negocios Lomas on Av. Alsina). The institution delivers accredited undergraduate programs (Contador Público and Licenciatura en Administración), postgraduate degrees including Maestrías en Administración Aplicada, Contabilidad Superior y Auditoría, and Tributación, plus Especializaciones in Costos para la Gestión Empresarial, Docencia Universitaria, and Sindicatura Concursal. Its continuing-education arm, the Programa de Capacitación Permanente (PCP), operates a catalog of more than 40 short courses, workshops, diplomaturas, and professional certifications priced between roughly 40,000 and 1,120,000 Argentine pesos, covering domains such as insurance advising, automotive registration, foreign trade, taxation, payroll, marketing, and soft skills.

The faculty's underlying technology is conventional higher-education infrastructure: a Moodle-based Campus Virtual UNLZ learning management system combined with Zoom for synchronous online delivery, supporting both degree programs and PCP courses. Distinctive technical assets include a continuously published monthly macroeconomic research report (Informe Macroeconómico Mensual) running since 2007 with over 130 archived editions, and the Revista de Investigaciones Ciencias Económicas Lomas academic journal. Distribution runs through on-campus instruction, the two extension centers, online delivery, and an ecosystem of recurring institutional events including the 20-year-running Jornada de Promoción del Empleo, the 19th Accounting and Management Olympiad, the 16th Mathematics Olympiad, and the 34th Jornadas ACE conference.

The business model rests on three revenue mechanics: (1) public funding from the Argentine Ministry of Education underwriting tuition-free undergraduate education; (2) recurring postgraduate tuition from Maestrías and Especializaciones; and (3) one-time course fees from the PCP program, with 15% discounts offered to students and graduates and installment financing available on higher-priced certifications. Customer segments span four horizontal personas — university students, graduate and professional students, community members seeking vocational skills, and high school students in the articulation program — reached through website, Facebook, academic Olympiads, the employment fair, and outreach initiatives including the Programa Amartya Sen and microcredit programs. The institution operates within Argentina's regulated public education framework and does not pursue external venture funding.

Broad incumbents

• Universidad Torcuato Di Tella (UTDT): Argentina's leading private business school offering undergraduate and MBA programs in economics and business. Comparable as a competitor for top-tier economics and administration students, though private rather than public, and positioned as a more premium offering.
• Universidad Argentina de la Empresa (UADE): Private Argentine university focused on business and economics with strong industry connections. Comparable as a competitor in the Buenos Aires market offering similar accounting, administration, and professional certification programs, with established employer partnerships.
• Universidad de San Andrés (UdeSA): Private Argentine university with a strong business and economics department offering undergraduate and graduate programs. Comparable as a competitor for the same student segment with a different funding model (private tuition-funded vs. state-funded).

Others

• AFIP (Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos): Argentina's federal tax authority, which is both a regulator for tax-related professional certifications and a destination employer for PCP-trained graduates. Comparable as an ecosystem participant that defines the curriculum requirements for tax and payroll courses the faculty teaches.
• Asociación Argentina de Contribuyentes y Profesionales: Argentine professional associations in economic sciences that provide credentialing frameworks for accountants and related professionals. Comparable as the regulatory ecosystem within which the faculty's postgraduate and PCP certifications (e.g., Productor Asesor de Seguros, Mandatario Registral) derive their labor-market value.

Direct peers

• Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento (UNGS): Public national university in Greater Buenos Aires offering economics-adjacent programs. Comparable as a nearby public university competing for the same Buenos Aires Province student pool with government-funded tuition model.
• Universidad Nacional de Córdoba - Facultad de Ciencias Económicas: Public national university faculty of economic sciences in Córdoba offering similar Contador Público and Licenciatura en Administración programs with postgraduate specializations. Comparable as another state-funded economic sciences faculty with the same tuition-free undergraduate model.
• Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP) - Facultad de Ciencias Económicas: Another major Argentine public national university faculty of economic sciences offering undergraduate accounting and administration degrees plus postgraduate programs. Comparable as a public, government-funded peer competing for the same Buenos Aires Province student demographic.
• Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) - Facultad de Ciencias Económicas: Argentina's flagship public university faculty of economic sciences, offering Contador Público and Licenciatura en Administración degrees alongside graduate programs. Directly comparable as a public, tuition-free economic sciences faculty competing for the same national student pool and employer network.

Emerging players

• Universidad Siglo 21: Large Argentine private university with extensive online program offerings across business, accounting, and economics. Comparable as a competitor offering similar undergraduate and continuing education programs, particularly through its national online reach that the UNLZ faculty cannot match.
